                 ^^^^
Do not use pass in this way - it's a python's keyword. Use some other 
name instead.

Here's a simple example:

import ftplib,sys

ftp = ftplib.FTP('ftp.python.org')
ftp.login('anonymous','qwe at asd.pl')
print ftp.retrlines('LIST')
ftp.cwd('pub/python')
print ftp.retrlines('LIST')
print ftp.retrbinary('retr README', sys.stdout.write)
ftp.quit()
